Overview

Fairbairn-Sykes MkII?. The Fairbairn-Sykes is probably the most-revered military fighting knife of all time, made famous in World War II by the British Commandos, the U.S. Army Rangers, the SAS, SOE and Allied combat troops in all theaters of operations.

Now for the first time since 1941 comes the updated, improved, American version, the F-S Mk II?. The full-tang design, rugged blade and forward-curving solid brass crossguard overcome the weaknesses of the original, but the double-edge and the curvaceous Micarta grips are unmistakably F-S all the way. With its F-S and Ek heritage, the F-S MkII? is an immediate classic. This is the Official Knife of the U.S. Army Ranger Association.

The Ek F-S MkII is now part of the official symbol of the U.S. Army Ranger Association. USARA President Linc German says, "Ek Commando Knife Co. is following in the footsteps of John Ek -- John's war fighting knives were in select Soldiers' hands during WWII and are equal to the also-renowned W.D.

John Ek wanted to contribute to the American war effort during World War II. From his shop in Hamden, Connecticut, Ek built custom knives specifically for soldiers, sailors, airmen, and Marines. He even built a knife for the Commander-in-Chief, American President Franklin Roosevelt. Mr. Ek, who also employed disabled Americans, produced six models of knives beginning in 1941. He referred to these knives as “Ek Commando Knives” as they were purpose built for close quarter use that would become a hallmark of the US Marine Raiders, US Army Rangers, First Special Service Force, and Office of Strategic Services’ Operational Groups. To purchase an Ek Commando Knife one had to send in proof of military service. The knives were numbered and a log was kept to tie the number to the owner. Americans have carried Ek Commando Knives in World War II, Korea, Vietnam, Afghanistan, Iraq, and countless other locations in between. John Ek’s knives live on today through Ek Commando Knife as a testament to his ideas, skills, and unflinching patriotism.
